As far as the history of modern men's fashion is concerned, no decade has been as adventurous and experimental as the 1970s.

After years of a style dominated by classic suits and dark colors, suddenly the male wardrobe gains color (and life). They become expressive, vibrant and luxurious.

Obviously there were mishaps along the way. Notice those terrible platform shoes.

But all this vibe was part of the experimentalism of the time, where men were not afraid to wear anything, as long as it attracted attention.

Celebrities such as Elton John, Marvin Gaye and Mick Jagger and David Bowie (referring to just a few) adopted this style of overt approach, where velvet suits and unbuttoned shirts (up to the navel) and improbable blends of colors and patterns were commonplace.In a more classic line of the 70s, we find icons of style that remain to this day Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent and Robert Redford.Hair was plentiful, thick mustaches, and Studio 54 in New York was the "place" where people wanted to be (and be seen).This dusty and "shameless" attitude in men's fashion has seen a revival in designers such as Alessandro Michele from Gucci, Tom Ford and Hedi Slimane (currently at Céline).Below, some of the icons of this decade, as well as the pieces that have been looking for references to the 70s and that in 2018 return to trend, are inspired.
